There must be two John McCains...one is a beloved Maverick who hated Donald Trump. The other was condemned by liberals in 2008 for being a scary, anger-issued, far right wacko who was unsuited for the Presidency.

Which one died?

I still remember McCain making her stand on stage and not even be allowed to thank her followers.

So who gets his seat?

Better not be a McCain! I’m sure Juan was hoping to continue to torment us from the grave. Are we going to have to suffer through any elaborate state funeral?

It would be fun to compare what the Compost will say about him now to what they said in October 2008.

Of course McLame was about as cowardly as they come but doing that comparison,once again,shows how utterly phony the Compost is...and always has been.

I'd love to see DJT send some junior Cabinet Undersecretary to attend the funeral in his place.

And liberal tears and tributes to their favorite “Republican.”

My grandmother had a saying:
Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Dante’s ninth circle of hell (Treachery).

Now we will be subjected 24/7 to the crocodile tears and the rending of garments by the lying scum on the left and the hypocritical worms in the Republican Party on the so called right.

Well, just as the NFL suddenly became heroes of the Left (rather than the villains of “rape culture”) by disrespecting the flag, so McCain went from a monster of the abyss in 2008, when he ran for President with Sarah Palin, to the Left’s most beloved “conservative” when he betrayed Donald Trump. I’ll say this: in the shark-infested waters of Washington DC, he was a survivor. He always knew when it was time to stick a knife in someone else and swim like hell.

On McLame's gravestone I'll empty my bladder,on Chuckie's I'll empty my bowel.

Dang the news yesterday was he was discontinuing treatment for brain cancer, I’m guessing the “treatment” was the life support machine that had been keeping him alive for the last couple months.

Death does not make a dishonorable man honorable.

I’m reluctant to speak I’ll of the recently dead, but all I’ll say is how Sarah was treated by her “running mate” when he realised she was 1000x more popular than him was a disgrace and one I will never forget.

>>the NFL suddenly became heroes of the Left

The NFL every year starts off with four exhibition games that don’t mean anything. Then they have 16 regular season games and playoff games that don’t mean anything.
